I already saw this question and its edit history due to a flag last night, so I've had some time to think about it. Here's my proposal for some general guidelines to cover situations like this.
It's OK to use NSFW language if that's an important part of the question.

I can think of a couple:
Half-fairies (offspring of a human and a fairy)
Half-mermaids (offspring of a human and a mermaid)
